WASHINGTON, December "A caucus
of Democratic Senators was held to-day, to
which an informal report Of the Caucus
Committee was submitted, respecting the
admission of Senators Turpie, of Indiana,
and Faulkner, OF West Virginia. The
matter was discussed at considerable
length, but as several members of the eau
Gus were absent, 10 line of action was
sketched, and the further discussion of the
subject was put over until II o'clock, to
which hour the caucus adjourned.
The usual course of procedure is to
swear in new Senators, two at time in
the order in which their names stand on
the alphabetical list The two parties are
exactly equal in strength at the start, but
with the administration of the oath to the
first Senator on the list, Mr.. Aldrich, the
Republicans will have majority, and
can, Of course, control the current Of
events, if no dilatory proceedings
are resorted to. 1t is evident
that the members Of both parties are
Studying the rules and precedents closely,

their opponents to secure an advantage,
but without knowing exactly as yet what

THE X. Il D.

The Company Reported to be stln Buying
Ground on the South Side.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
papy is still persistipg in its policy of buy
ing up unimproved real estate on the
South Side, and the indications are that
the Company will soon be the possessor of
territory to the aggregate amount Of some
thing like a dozen squares, counting in
this estimate the land purchased from the
Handlan estate, just south of the county
line, some time ago. 1t has been detailed in
the REGISTER how the Company has ac-
quired three squares on the east side Of Nc
Colloch street, south off rty-frst street. II
transpired yesterday that the sgents of the
Company were busy examining the titles
to large additional tract of land enteGd-
ing southward from FOrty-fourth street,
and in direct lie with the ground pre-
viously purchased from Mr.. WaterhOuse;
and it was stated that the Company would
continue to he purchaser until it had
acquired strip OF ground one block vide
aud extending clear from Forty-frst to
Forty-eighth street.-the Marshall county
line. This land would, with that pur-
chased from the Handlan estate, form
continuous strip about twelve squares long,
and would go a long way towards giving
the Company i's desired northern arproach
TO the east end Of the Bellaire bridge, and
at the same time would afford the most
ample room, along the line of McCulloch
street, below Forty.frst, for the construc-
tiOn of shops, the trunel!ing Of the bill, or
whatever else the Company may have in
view.
1t was also stated yesterday that the
Railroad Company was negotiating with
Mr.. Martin Fisher and Others for certain
lots On the west side Of McCuiloch street,
below Forty-fourth, which would indicate
that good deal Of territory, in addition
to that above mentioned, would he ulti-
mately acquired.

occur not long after the Union bridge was
completed.
In fact everything points to boon
in railroads in this city that cannot fail to
place her in position Of prominence and
prosperity.
1t is understood that ex-senator Camden
was largely instrumental in bringing the
bridge matter in very favorable light be-
fore the eyes of Mr.. Clark. During a re-
cent visit there he was introduced to the
gentleman by Judge Cochran and in speak
irg of railroad matters generally and the
Union bridge project especially MIR. Cam
den gave Mr.. Clark some idea of what the
Ohio River Road has done since it
was put into operation, whereat that
gentleman was greatly surprised, and im-
mediately took a greater interest in the
matter as he had such great reliance in the
Judgment and opinion of Mr.. Camden,
than whom there is not better posted
man on railroad matters in the State.
Mr.. Clark was also astounded at the vol
ume of business transacted in Wheeling
per annum, as detailed by the statistics
furnished by the subcommittee through
Messrs. Cochran and Lynch.
